AND I’M BACK

Hi. It has been so long since I last posted here. Sorry about that.

I haven’t been idle, though. I have been giving my books a thorough going over. The process is far from complete and will probably take the rest of this year to finish.

What has changed is the arrival of two new editing tools that have helped me enormously.

FIRST HUNDRED UP.

In the past week, I have added 26 pages to the text and the page count now stands at 103, and 29,665 words. The catalyst that signalled the end of the extended period of writers’ block that I described in my previous post was the introduction of the new character,

FORGING AHEAD AT LAST

Bearing in mind that I announced the commencement of my latest book all the way back in August, it seems impossible to credit, but I have still to hit eighty pages. There is, however, a reason for that, which you probably have to be a writer to understand fully. Nevertheless,

AND SWITCHING BACK

Sad to report, the switch to Linux did not work out well for me, so I have switched back to Windows for the time being. I actually like working in Zorin OS (the Linux distribution I chose) and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experiment. There were problems,

SWITCHING SYSTEMS

First upload in a while, I am afraid. The new book is on hold at present because my brain is currently devoid of good ideas. The situation will resolve itself soon enough but, for now, that is the way it is. I am not idle, though. In fact,

NEW BOOK HITS 10,000 WORDS

Hi. It has been a while since I last blogged, but that does not mean I have been idle. In my last post, I mentioned that The Author’s Manual had been reissued. This was to include recommendations on how to use Apple’s word processor, Pages, if you don’t have a Mac.

AUTHOR’S MANUAL REISSUED AND NEW START

It has been something like three weeks since my last post, but I have not been sitting idle. As well as doing a bit of housekeeping on my published works, improving their appearance slightly, I have been working on a revamped edition of The Author’s Manual.

FIRST SALES

Another Allegiance has clocked up its initial sales and reviews will follow in due course, I am sure.

Currently, I am doing a bit of housekeeping on my other books, not rewriting them, but improving their appearance a little. I republished The Author’s Manual a couple of weeks ago and it looks like I will need to do a bit of revision on that in the near future as well.

PUBLISHED!

Another Allegiance is on sale worldwide. The ebook editions (Kindle, Apple, Kobo, Nook and online libraries) went live yesterday and they were joined by the paperback and hardback editions on Amazon this morning.

It went through a few last minute changes following consultation with my proofreader,

IT’S BACK

Cuzzie has had problems, not caused by me, I hasten to add. A task that would normally have taken her a week took three because next door was having building work done. Therefore, her reading was conducted to a gentle, blissful background hum of sledgehammers, electric saws and power drills.
